Trip Route
Kathmandu Durbar Square-Swayambhunath-Patan-Pashupatinath-Bouddhanath-Nagarkot-Bhaktapur Durbar Square

Highlights

The Kathmandu valley is surrounded by Lalitpur, Kritipur, Bhaktapur and several smaller settlements, and is surrounded by four large hills: Shivapuri, Phulchowki, Nagarjun and Chandagiri

Kathmandu is becoming a thriving holiday destination for all budget tourists and a hub for independent travelers. 

Thamel is the main traveller’s enclave, densely filled with hotels, restaurants, bars, and taverns. You may go through the market, shopping malls, and experience Thamel's nightlife. It's a particularly lively time in Thamel at night.

Tours in Kathmandu focus mostly on world heritage sites such as Kathmandu Durbar Square, Patan Durbar Square, Bhaktapur Durbar Square, Pashupatinath, Swayambhunath, and Boudhanath. This vacation package also includes an early morning mountain flight, allowing you to see the Nepalese Himalayas from above. Nagarkot is famous for its sunrise views of the Himalayas, including Mount Everest, as well as panoramic views of Kathmandu Valley. Other destinations you can visit on this vacation include Bungmati, Khokana and Chobar, where you can discover the natural beauty of mountains and villages.

Following the April 25th, 2015 earthquake (magnitude 7.9) with its epicentre in Barpak near Kathmandu valley, some tourist attractions experienced significant damage. There has been a devastating loss of life (almost 9000), particularly in the capital, as well as damage to a small number of buildings around Nepal. But eventually, Kathmandu began to stabilize, with no damage in both domestic and international airports, perfect communication, hotels in operation, and no viral disease whatsoever, so come and visit Kathmandu for the restoration of valuable assets and to assist us in resuming the tourist aspect of the economy. After the earthquake in Nepal, this trip in Kathmandu is a safe travel package.

Holiday Tours Nepal provides very affordable Kathmandu travel packages with good service. We offer all necessary assistance and advice to make your vacation enjoyable and trouble-free. We can create custom itineraries and packages so that you can do everything you want throughout your vacation. I hope you enjoy your visit of Kathmandu.

Trip Itinerary

Day

1

When your plane arrives in Kathmandu, you will be greeted and taken to your accommodation. If you have enough time, our guide will take you through the local old market, where you will be able to experience the different lifestyle of Kathmandu. You will be picked up from your hotel later this evening for a cultural dinner.

Day

2

On the first day of your full-day tour in Kathmandu, you will see three of the seven UNESCO World Heritage Sites. This tour not only provides educational monumental sights and delight, but it also includes blessings from Kumari, the living goddess. As the town's centre, you will be surrounded by several temples and a historic royal palace. The main attractions of this monument are the artistic courtyards with sculptured buildings, the spectacular architecture, and the living goddess Kumari. A museum within the Durbar houses mementos to the Shah Dynasty's monarchs.

Durbar Square Monuments to See in Kathmandu:

“Kumari Bahal”- “Kumari” is the local word for "living goddess." Princes were mentioned in certain books for her. “Bahal” is a quadrangle-shaped local monastery that serves as the official residence of the Living Goddess. The Kumari cult is a dynamic synthesis of Hinduism and Buddhism. The selection process is like that of the Dalai Lama. She is the reincarnated Goddess Taleju. We choose young females at a young age, usually between the ages of three and five. After the first menstruation, they are retired.

Kalabhairab- The god of justice, it was utilized as a lie detector in the 17th century. People still pray for good fortune. Kasthamadap is a 12th century wooden temple built from a single massive tree. This temple inspired the name Kathamndu. The name Kathmandu means "Wooden Temple," and this is the wooden temple. Freak Street- many hippies visited and enjoyed themselves here in 1960.

Shiva Parvati Temple- Shiva and his wife are looking from the window, thus we must practice good karma.

Every day at 9 a.m., we ring the big bell. It weighs roughly 1000 kg, thus the person who rings it gets one litre of milk every day.

Taleju Temple, a 16th century Pagoda temple, was the highest building until 1950; other people were not permitted to construct higher than this temple. This Taleju goddess's reincarnation is the living goddess-kumari.

Nasal Chock is the royal palace's principal ceremonial courtyard. It was last used in the year 2001 AD.

Mohan kali chock- We can see the richest art work on stone, metal, and wood here.

Sundari chock- A royal bath with a snake carving on a single piece of stone, The King's Column, with Pratap Malla's monument on top, was demolished by an earthquake in 1934 and rebuilt.

Swayambhunath, or 'The Self Existent' stupa, is also known as 'The Monkey Temple' due to the enormous troop of cunning monkeys that live on its premises. It is a nearly 2600-year-old Buddhist shrine. This is also a good spot for a bird's-eye perspective of Kathmandu because the hillock provides a panoramic view of the city. Patan, the valley's second largest town, has a vast number of monuments, including Newari and Buddhist monuments in general. We will tour the famous Patan Durbar Square, which is encircled by pagodas and octagonal temples. There are five-story Kumbheswar temple, Golden temple, Rudravarna monastery, and other attractions to explore. Furthermore, while visiting the Tibetan Refugee Camp, you will see how the Tibetans make carpets by hand. Overnight stay at a hotel.

Day

Note; An option, Morning Everest Mountain fly - This aircraft circles the Himalayas, ascending to Everest and returning to Kathmandu.

After the mountain flight, return to the hotel for breakfast, and then proceed with the trip as follows;

Tours to Pashupatinath, Bouddhanath, and Nagarkot

This day combines a city and countryside tour. We begin with Pashupatinath, the most well-known Hindu shrine on the subcontinent. This excursion provides an opportunity to learn about Nepal's cremation system by visiting an open public crematorium on the banks of the holy river Bagmati. You will have the opportunity to move toward dreadlocked holy men while visiting this temple of Lord Shiva, the destroyer and re-creator. Our Kathmandu tour now continues to Bouddhanath, one of the world's largest stupas.

Because of the presence of Tibetan monasteries and Tibetan exiles, Bouddhanath presents itself as a miniature Tibet. The shrine, which goes back to the fourth century, is a must-see for Tibetans. Aside from these, there are several Thanka painting schools that produce the best Nepalese souvenirs. Leaving the crowds and commotion of the city, the tour travels to the countryside. In this package, it is the farthest point of your trip of Kathmandu. We will arrive to Nagarkot, 'The Fort of the Town,' after travelling through countryside, local lifestyle, and dozens of turns. This location is well-known for its magnificent mountain views, as well as dawn and sunset. Enjoy the amazing act of the sun as it prepares to set at the horizon. Overnight stay at the resort.

Day

This morning, you will photograph a magnificent sunrise from the Nagarkot resort. We will go to Bhaktapur, a historic city, after breakfast. This town has an infinite number of cultural and historic courtyards, gigantic temples with mostly acclaimed design (e.g., Nyatapola), and an arty Durbar. After touring Bhaktapur, we'll drive back to Kathmandu, where you'll have the afternoon to yourself. Overnight stay at a hotel.
